Did pregnancy leave you with a ‘mummy tummy’ or sagging breasts? You’re not alone, these are common concerns for women after pregnancy and breastfeeding, and it’s often impossible to reverse these changes with diet and exercise. Luckily, mommy makeover surgery can help women get their pre-baby body back. But what procedures are in a mommy makeover.

What is a Mommy makeover surgery?
Mommy makeover surgery is a set of procedures that are done to address concerns women have post-pregnancy, so it helps restore a more youthful body. A mommy makeover is customizable, as it reflects the unique aesthetic needs of each patient.

Below are the procedures that are most often included in a mommy makeover.

Tummy tuck. Tummy tuck surgeryis done to get rid of the loose skin and stretch marks in the abdominal region. It also fixes weak or separated abdominal muscles, which can occur as a result of pregnancy.

Breast augmentation. This procedure restores upper breast fullness and enhances the shape of the breasts, with the use of silicone or saline implants.

Breast lift. A breast lift is often done in combination with breast augmentation, to elevate droopy, saggy breasts. It involves the removal of excess skin, and repositioning of the areola, to restore youthful breast contours.

Liposuction. After pregnancy, some women have stubborn fat deposits in areas such as the tummy, hips, and upper arms, which can’t be reduced with diet and exercise. Liposuction is the ideal solution.
